Quique Setien is looking to shore up his defensive options and Porto’s Miguel Layun happens to be a target.

The Mexico international is thought to perfectly fit the profile of defensive player Setien wants to target in the winter transfer window.

Real Betis are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.

According to the report, Porto defender Miguel Layun will join Real Betis this week to complete a loan deal with an option to buy. The Mexico international has fallen out of favor at Porto, making only two starts for the Portuguese league leaders this season. The 29-year-old had also been linked with a move to Alaves, while Celta Vigo, Everton and Deportivo La Coruna had reportedly previously held an interest.
